A: The “Test Proctor” in this case is any other person at the corporation or school who would need quick access to the test. If the test has been created by the CTC, adding the STC as a proctor will allow that user to easily locate the test using the My Sessions button, and then print test tickets. Slide 54

FAQs - Untimed Test and Allow Test Breaks
FAQs D2 Assessment
** FAQ
Q: Why is the test “Untimed”? I thought all operational ISTEP+ and IREAD‐3 tests were timed.
A: The tests are timed tests with time limits. TAS offers an option to manage the time limits via the computer – which would automatically end the student testing session if time runs out. The tests are timed in the classroom by the test examiner instead of by the application.
** FAQ
Q: The Allow Test Breaks checkbox has been checked. I cannot uncheck the box. Why? A: Test breaks between sessions adds to the security of the test. This feature cannot be turned off.
Q: What is a “Test Access Code” and why is it important? Can I change the Code? A: Access codes are the “keys” to access the assessment. The TAS will create default Test Access Codes. These can be changed anytime prior to the first student logging into the test.

FAQs – Lost Test Tickets
** FAQ
Q: The Student and/or Summary Test Tickets have been lost. What should I do?
A: If the test has not yet started (no students have logged in), find and delete the test. Create a new test, assign students and print new test tickets. The Access Codes will be different in the new session.
If the test has already started, access the test, open the Add Student panel, click the Add Student button and remove all students who have not yet tested. Create a new test and assign those students. Print test tickets for the new test.

FAQ Move Student
** FAQ
Q: I need to move a student from one school to another school in my corporation. Is that okay?
A: While it is possible within TAS to move a student from one school to another school, please do not move students between schools. If a student moves from one school to another school within or outside of the corporation:
1) Flag the student record at the original school as “Will Not/Did Not Test”. 2) Create a new student record at the new school. 3) The new student record should be
assigned to test sessions at the new school.
4) Consult with the IDOE if you are not sure if the student should test at the new school.
